Small Batch Wines | 2009 Sagrantino

James Halliday 2012 Aust Wine Companion, 88 points

This is a full-blooded version of sagrantino, very different to the Chalmers wine of the same vintage; here you can sense the approaching thunder of the tannins and the muscular, full-bodied black fruits

Closure

Stelvin

Grape Variety

100% Sagrantino

Growing Region

100% McLaren Vale

Colour

Deep dark maroon.

Aroma

Lifted floral violet like notes, Christmas cake and earthy spice.

Palate

Quite a different palate structure to the varieties we are used to in Australia, this Sagrantino has beautiful floral tannins, loads of savoury fruit and a fresh acid line. Best enjoyed over a shared meal with friends.
